She didn't know how long she had been walking up the mountain, down the mountain, and through the valley, but she knew that at the beginning, she could still see patches of paddy fields and dry land that had been cultivated and planted with crops, but gradually, the paddy fields and dry land disappeared, and the road under her feet became narrower and smaller.

As far as the eye can see, there are all trees and grass, and when the wind blows, they are crawling on one side, and there is a loud noise.

The sun had already risen - the only consolation was this, not only did I not feel cold, but I was sweating a little from the heat of the road.

Su Jin raised his hand to wipe the thin layer of sweat from his forehead, panting.

Qin Lang stopped and looked back at her.

Su Jin smiled and gasped, "It's okay...... I can still walk. ”

It's true that I am tired, I have some throbbing pain in my chest when I breathe and breathe, but I am not so tired that I can't hold it anymore, and this body should be trained like this.

You have to endure hardships to survive the winter!

Qin Lang had to take a serious look at this daughter-in-law, he really didn't expect her to have such perseverance.

glanced at her thin body and thin sallow face, obviously tired and out of breath, but those eyes were still bright and a little determined.

Anything can deceive people, but the look in the eyes does not.

Qin Lang's heart softened, and he pointed ahead: "Do you see the mountain in front of you?" We stopped when we got there. ”

"Good!" With the goal, Su Jin suddenly felt less tired, and even quickened his pace and followed Qin Lang towards the mountain over there.

After about a quarter of an hour, the two of them finally reached the other side of the mountain.

Survived in a sun-drenched clearing, with soft blades of grass and sparse trees.

With the warm sun shining overhead, the surrounding shrubs and trees to block the mountain breeze, and the view is open, the location is very good.

Glancing at the dense forest not far away, Qin Lang said, "Rest for a while, let's go to the forest." ”

"Hmm!" Su Jin nodded.

If you want to find food, you can only go to the forest.

The forest in this area was very different from the surrounding village, and it was very uninhabited, at least they didn't see anyone else.

However, it is easier to find something to eat in such a place.

On the hill near the village, where can they get wild fruits and wild yams from the trees?

However, there is also a greater danger hidden here, and that is all kinds of fierce beasts.

This is not a modern society where the ecology has been severely damaged, and the wildlife has been squeezed by humans to the point that there is no place to live, and there are countless wild animals everywhere.

In the village of Xiaohe, where they lived, in the cold winter months, there would occasionally be tigers or wolves lacking food to attack domestic animals.

Besides, this is in the mountains?

To say not to be afraid, that is false. But Su Jin was afraid of his crow's mouth, and he didn't even dare to mention words such as "beast" and "tiger".

Even if you're scared? The right should be put to death and then born.

The two had already spent a lot of time on the way here, and they didn't dare to waste it at this time, and soon they went into the forest together.

The sun was shining and warm outside, and when he entered the forest, he felt a cold rush towards him, and Su Jin couldn't help but clasp his hands around his body and tremble.

Qin Lang looked at her.

Su Jin pulled out a smile at him: "I'm fine, it's warm when I walk." ”

Qin Lang nodded, and the two continued to walk.

"Take a closer look, are there any yams, wild lilies and the like, all kinds of wild fruits, this season is too cold, there are basically no mushrooms, wild vegetables are old, we can only find a limited number of things......"

As he spoke, Su Jin suddenly saw a firewood growing not far away, so he went over and pulled it out, removed the soil, and carefully put it into the back basket.

Qin Lang was a little puzzled: "This ...... Can you eat it too? "Isn't it weed root?

Su Jin said with a smile: "This can cure wind and cold together with parsnip, ginger, nepeta, perilla, etc., I'll get some and prepare for it." ”

The poor can't afford to get sick in the cold winter days, where can they have the money to get medicine when they are sick? I can only be self-sufficient.

Qin Lang stopped talking.

These are all very common herbs, and it didn't take long for Su Jin's back basket to contain a small half basket of various herbs, which were used to treat wind and cold fever, diarrhea, frostbite, and anti-inflammatory.

Feeling the weight in the back basket, she stopped in surprise, the main task today is not this, just take it when you see it.

At this time, they finally found a puff of yams, and both of them were in good spirits.

The vines of the yam had turned yellow and were tangled together, and the two of them cleared them away, revealing the stems that were connected to the ground.

This yam vine grows luxuriantly, and there are only three of them, and I don't know how much I will harvest if I dig it.

Qin Lang dug down with a sharp wooden stick, the soil was relatively soft, and he quickly harvested.

Su Jin cheered, and with a smile, he removed the soil from the yam dug up by Qin Lang and stacked it neatly in the back basket.

Qin Lang, who was digging, glanced up at her and said, "It's all in my back basket." ”

Su Jin was stunned, his heart warmed, and he nodded and smiled: "That's okay, I'll pretend to be here if there's anything else later." ”

The yam is solid and heavy, and her small body is really a little unbearable.

Wild yams are still very different from those grown in modern times, the skin looks thicker, the color is darker, and the epidermis is densely covered with many long whiskers, and each one is very small.

Yams are half or more smaller than those sold in modern markets, and some are only slightly larger than a thumb.

Moreover, they are not straight and round, but flat, curved, and lumpy.

Su Jin didn't dislike wasting anything, and put it all away.

These yams grew very deeply, and Rao is Qin Lang had a lot of strength, and it took more than two quarters of an hour to dig them all up.

The harvest was also quite abundant, with a small half-basket.

Su Jin rubbed his back basket and said with a smile: "Thirteen or fourteen catties, I think there should be one, and if I find another one, it will be almost full." ”

Qin Lang smiled, "Let's go forward and walk again." ”

In this sparsely populated forest, wild food is everywhere, but as long as you spend time and thought, you will never leave empty-handed.

Next, they found a small patch of twenty or thirty lilies in a sunlit valley.

Although each stem is not large, only the size of a pigeon's egg, and the three largest are only the size of an egg, there is enough for two people to eat for a day.

After working for a long time, both of them were a little hungry, so they stopped to rest.

There are two persimmon trees on the hillside, and at this time the leaves have long since fallen and only the bare branches remain.

One tree is really full light, and there are seven or eight red persimmons hanging from the top of the other tree, which is not tempting.

Su Jin stared at the persimmons, licked his lips, and secretly said that it was a pity.

It's a pity that they all grow on the treetops, and they can't be picked at all. Otherwise, lunch would have been solved.

The persimmons must already be sweet at this time.
